We have developed and support a web site www.easyplanner3d.com which is
free for anyone to design their kitchen, bathroom and bedroom on the internet,
walk round it in 3D and experiment with colours and alternative layouts.
This site has been running only since April 2011 and already has
over 6500 members and gets hundreds of hits each day.
When you purchase EPiCAD you get a FREE listing on our site and for a small
monthly fee you can read designs from the web directly into your CAD system.
Leads generated in this way give you a clear idea of the customers' requirements which puts
you in a better position for making proposals and closing sales.
Presentation Photorealistic images
Presentation
EPiCAD has photorealistic rendering with the latest no fuss lighting techniques.
Simply click HD rendering, select the view you want by walking through the
layout in real time and press render to see the photorealistic results as you
see here. You can change the lighting schemes, for example from sunny to night time
but you don't have to waste time positioning lights as you used to do on older systems
to get a good effect. This means that you really can produce high quality images in a very short time.
Working Drawings Plan and Elevation ...
Working Drawings
Once you have done your design you can produce working plan and elevation
drawings for fitters. EPiCAD automatically adds relevant dimension and annotation
to you drawing but you can easily change these and add your own using the powerful
editing features. These drawings can be exported to your current system or printed
directly from EPiCAD using our handy picture publisher.
